2.1 Overview This section contains information on commissioning and tasks to be performed on the bench prior to installation and the Rosemount 4600 Oil & Gas Pressure Transmitter HART ® configuration information. Field Communicator and AMS Device Manager instructions are given to perform configuration functions.
If the Field Communicator or AMS Device Manager fail to connect, it indicates that no device was found. If this occurs, refer to Troubleshooting Figure 2-1: Bench Wiring (4–20 mA) A. Rosemount 4600 B. R > 250 ohm C. Power supply D.
Sensor temperature Note Regardless of the range points, the Rosemount 4600 will measure and report all readings within the digital limits of the sensor. For example, if the 4 and 20 mA points are set to 0 and 1,000 psi, and the transmitter detects a pressure of 2,500 psi, it digitally outputs the...
Analog output • Sensor temperature 2.4.2 Sensor temperature The Rosemount 4600 contains a temperature sensor near the pressure sensor in the transmitter. Note Sensor temperature reading is not an accurate indicator of process temperature. Field Communicator Enter the Fast Key sequence below Sensor Temperature to view the sensor temperature reading.

2.6.1 Failure mode alarm and saturation The Rosemount 4600 Transmitter automatically and continuously performs self-diagnostic routines. If the self-diagnostic routines detect a failure, the transmitter drives the output to configured alarm values. The transmitter will also drive the output to configured saturation values if the applied pressure goes outside the 4–20 mA range values.
Reference Manual Configuration 00809-0100-4022 August 2024 The Rosemount 4600 Transmitter has three configurable options for Failure mode alarm and saturation levels: • Rosemount (standard); see Table 2-1 • Custom; see Table 2-2 Table 2-1: Rosemount (Standard) Alarm and Saturation Values Level 4–20 mA saturation...

2.8.1 Saving, recalling, and cloning configuration data Use the cloning feature of the Field Communicator or the AMS Device Manager User Configuration feature to configure several Rosemount 4600 Transmitters similarly. Cloning involves: 1. Configuring a transmitter 2. Saving the configuration data 3.

2.8.2 Burst mode When configured for Burst mode, the Rosemount 4600 provides faster digital communication from the transmitter to the control system by eliminating the time required for the control system to request information from the transmitter. Burst mode is compatible with the analog signal.
AMS Device Manager can test, configure, and format a multidropped transmitter the same way as a transmitter in a standard point-to-point installation. Figure 2-2 shows a typical multidrop network. This figure is not intended as an installation diagram. www.Emerson.com...
B. RS-232-C C. Power supply The Rosemount 4600 is set to address zero (0) at the factory, which allows operation in the standard point-to-point manner with a 4–20 mA output signal. To activate multidrop communication, the transmitter address must be changed to a number from 1 to 15. This change deactivates the 4–20 mA analog output, sending it to 4 mA.
Polling a multidropped loop determines the model, address, and number of transmitters on the given loop. Field Communicator Procedure From the HOME screen, enter the Fast Key sequence shown. AMS Device Manager Procedure Select the HART modem icon and select Scan All Devices. ® www.Emerson.com...
3.3 Mechanical considerations For applications with process temperatures greater than the limits of the transmitter, do not blow down impulse piping through the transmitter. Flush lines with the blocking valves closed and refill lines with water before resuming measurement. www.Emerson.com...
® 501.5 (B). No additional conduit seal is required. Note The Rosemount 4600 features a reliable dual process seal design which meets the requirements of NEC 2002 section 501:5 (F)(3) and API 14F 6.8.2.2. No additional process sealing is required.
Radio Frequency Interference (RFI). Inductive-based transient protectors with more than 3 mH of inductance can adversely affect the output of the Rosemount 4600. Note If your application requires transient protection, then Emerson recommends ordering a transmitter with the transient protection option specified. www.Emerson.com...

A minimum loop resistance of 250 ohms is required to communicate with a Field Communicator. If a single power supply is used to power more than one Rosemount 4600, then the power supply and circuitry common to the transmitter should not have more than 20 ohms of impedance at 1200 Hz.
Re-zeroing the transmitter allows for a single point adjustment to compensate for any mounting position and sealed gauge effects. This can be done with a zero trim, 4–20 mA rerange, or with the zero and span adjustments. Related information Sensor trim www.Emerson.com...
8. Select OK to acknowledge that the loop can be returned to automatic control. 3.5 Hazardous locations The Rosemount 4600 has an explosion-proof housing. Individual transmitters are clearly marked with a tag indicating the certifications they carry. Note Once a device labeled with multiple approvals is installed, it should not be reinstalled using any other approval type(s).

Operation and Maintenance 4.1 Overview This section contains information on operation and maintenance of the Rosemount 4600. Field Communicator and AMS Device Manager instructions are given to perform maintenance functions. For convenience, Field Communicator Fast Key sequences are labeled Fast Keys for each software function below the appropriate headings.
4–20 mA output trim using other scale (Digital-to-analog trim using alternate scale) Figure 4-1 illustrates Rosemount 4600 data flow. Data flow can be summarized in four major steps: Procedure 1. A change in pressure is measured by a change in the sensor output (Sensor signal).

When performing a zero trim, ensure that the transmitter is vented to atmosphere. Note Do not perform a zero trim on Rosemount 4600 Absolute Pressure Transmitters. Zero trim is zero-based, and absolute pressure transmitters reference absolute zero. To correct mounting position effects on a Rosemount 4600 Oil and Gas Transmitter, perform a low trim within the full sensor trim function.
